JavaFX Arc

In general, Arc is the part of the circumference of a circle or ellipse. It needs to be created in some of the JavaFX applications wherever required. JavaFX allows us to create the Arc on GUI by just instantiating javafx.scene.shape.Arc class. Just set the properties of the class to the appropriate values to show arc as required by the Application.

Properties

JavaFX Arc properties and their setter method are given in the table below.

Property	Description	Method
CenterX	X coordinate of the centre point	serCenterX(Double value)
CenterY	Y coordinate of the centre point	setCenterY(Double value)
Length	Angular extent of the arc in degrees	setLength(Double value)
RadiousX	Full width of the ellipse of which, Arc is a part.	setRadiusX(Double value)
RadiousY	Full height of the ellipse of which, Arc is a part	setRadiusY(Double value)
StartAngle	Angle of the arc in degrees	setStartAngle(Double value)
type	Type of Arc : OPEN, CHORD, ROUND	setType(Double value)

Example

package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Arc;
import javafx.scene.shape.ArcType;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Shape_Example extends Application{

	@Override
	public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	primaryStage.setTitle("Arc Example");
	Group group = new Group();
	Arc arc = new Arc();
	arc.setCenterX(100);
	arc.setCenterY(100);
	arc.setRadiusX(50);
	arc.setRadiusY(80);
	arc.setStartAngle(30);
	arc.setLength(70);
	arc.setType(ArcType.ROUND);
	arc.setFill(Color.RED);
	group.getChildren().addAll(arc);
	Scene scene = new Scene(group,200,300,Color.GRAY);
	primaryStage.setScene(scene);
	primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
	launch(args);
}

}
